The Rescue Aid Society, an international secret association of mice, receives a message in a bottle from an orphaned girl, Penny, who has been abducted by a pair of treasure collectors, Madame Medusa and her partner, Mr. Snoops. Society members Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor) and Bernard (Bob Newhart) begin a rescue journey in search of Penny. Disney’s last animated feature processed in Technicolor, this sweet detective adventure, nominated for Original Song at the Academy Awards, showcases a nostalgic ambience drawn from its distinctive color palette, which harmonizes wonderfully with the film’s dreamlike visual presentation and storyline, and its warm performances by Gabor and Newhart.
